WhatsApp, the popular instant messaging app, has recently announced a groundbreaking new feature that is sure to delight its users. After much anticipation, the ability to use the same WhatsApp account on up to four different devices will soon be available worldwide.
While the feature was previously only available in the Android beta version, it has now been confirmed for global implementation and is expected to be rolled out to all users in the coming weeks.
So, how does this new feature work exactly? Similar to WhatsApp Web, you can now connect your primary phone to a second smartphone, tablet, or computer, with each device being able to connect independently, all while maintaining end-to-end encryption on all personal messages, media, and calls.
It's important to note that while you can use the same account to message from different phones, you cannot have two different WhatsApp accounts on the same phone. If you don't use the primary device for a while, your account will automatically disconnect from all secondary devices.
With this new feature, your chats will always be kept up-to-date across all connected devices, allowing for seamless switching between devices without disconnecting from the previous one. This applies to WhatsApp Web/Desktop, and you can connect up to four different devices with the same account.
In addition to this major launch, WhatsApp is also changing the way primary accounts connect to secondary devices to speed things up. Instead of scanning a QR code, you can now enter your phone number directly on WhatsApp Web, and it will send you a one-time password (OTP) to connect an additional device.
The new feature will first be available on WhatsApp Web before being rolled out to other devices as well. This exciting update showcases WhatsApp's commitment to improving the user experience and adapting to the evolving needs of its users. The ability to use one WhatsApp account on multiple devices is a game-changer, and it is sure to be well-received by users worldwide.
